Each installment of “SOS: Salva Mi Casa” will follow real families in need of room renovations, whether it be transforming a guest room into a nurturing nursery or an office space into a teenage boy’s oasis. Host Andrea Minski and general contractor Jose Perez come to the rescue, surprising homeowners to help fulfill the home improvement goals they don’t have the skills or the time to achieve.

“We are delighted to be working with TELEMUNDO to create exciting, original programming,” said Evelyn Webster, EVP Time Inc. “Time Inc. is expanding in many ways, including the launch of new digital, video and television products, and we’re thrilled to add our first Spanish-language TV venture to the mix with SOS: Salva Mi Casa.”

A co-branded Spanish-language site featuring relevant content from Time Inc. will launch in conjunction with the premiere, at www.SOSsalvamicasa.com.
